maybe i'm amazed

okay, so we started out the holiday/cruise weekend with Handyman's birthday party. the plan was to have drinks at Handyman's and then go to the go-kart track. we had a blast!! the go-karts were so much fun!! we had about 3 or 4 five minute rides. it was soooo much fun!

after go karts we went to some little dive bar and the woman was kind enough to let us in after she had already master locked the gate on the door. i think she probably welcomed the company since all she had in there was some old mexican man who had probably already been there all nite. we took up every seat at the bar. it was really cool, tho. handyman and all his friends. *smile*

the next day we got all our crap together and got to bed early. sunday, we waited until the very last minute to get on the boat. it turns out, it was a good thing we did. there were people that had been in line for 3 1/2 hours because they were there on time.

being on the boat was good. being away from work was great! being with handyman in one room for 6 days without killing each other is amazing!

as you all know by now, handyman and i are engaged! it happened on playa mia beach in cozumel. my poor honey... he had the sweetest most romantic sentiment in mind with the thot he put into his proposal. we were supposed to have an overnite in cozumel and he wanted to book a sunset steak and lobster dinner and propose then. the overnite was cancelled. next, he thot he would do it when we got to the top of the pyramid on the excursion from progreso. that port was cancelled. he couldn't catch a break. by this time, he just put the ring in his pocket and thot he'd just ask when he got the chance. at that point, it was pretty much, "just take the ring". j/k


i honestly don't remember anything he said. all i know is we both had tears in our eyes and then he pulled out the ring. i think i nodded my head and he may have told me that i had to actually SAY yes. duh


newly engaged

there was shopping in cozumel and i got a really cool bracelet and a new thumb ring and we went snorkeling in belize. not much for the shopping in belize... it was actually pretty scary. we had some crippled homeless guy circling us and said he wouldn't touch me but just wanted to kiss my back...!?!?!? WTF!?!? i FREAKED out! at that point, HM said some kids started throwing rocks at him (of course i didn't see cuz i was already bookin' my ass away from him) and some girl asked HM why he didn't kick his ass. HM replied he had no desire to spend time in an international jail cell.

cozumel and belize

the rest of the cruise was kind of a blur. there's only so much you can do on a boat, plus all the shows were pretty gay. they had movies in the room and we had a pretty cool balcony. i could have stayed in the room most of the time. the only reason i ever left at nite was to see what new animal i would get. nice, huh? it looks like the dog on top is ready for a little doggie action...

towel animals

getting back home a day early, we went out to celebrate our engagement. we need to do that more often! hell, we got a free round of drinks everywhere we went! we went to dinner at rudy & paco's and ate some really really REALLY good food. when we brought the leftovers back, handyman took a rest. when he was ready to go, i had already settled in. i know... i'm lame. we still had more "first rounds" to get. we'll try again next time he's in town. i still gotta sport my ring around town.

monday, we just chilled out. we went to see the "infamous k-pooop" and HM went back home. i kinda missed him already.

tuesday, i had to go see my babies. mamalane and papatom were bringing the doggies back and i missed my ringo dog. they were at "summer camp" while we were gone. my baby's getting so BIG. i need to take him for his last round of puppy shots. i think he's maybe a couple of weeks behind on that. maybe i'll try to make him an appt for this weekend. maybe.

i guess i'm done for the nite. i'll have to write again this week about how cool it is to be engaged and your friends already wanna throw parties for you. also, the conversation had between me and the princess. for eight years old, she's pretty damn smart.

ciao for now.
